I Might Not Want The Last Guardian

Let me start off by saying I haven't beat Ico nor had a chance to play it yet. And I've just beaten SotC However I can't help but feel that The Last Guardian seems like a step backwards for Team Ico. After all Ico & TLG both revolve around you playing as a boy with a companion that you protect/protects you. I want another game where I'm able to play as an independent character like The Wanderer (not dissing Agro) who fights towering enemies and explores a vast open world. Ico and TLG seem to be very linear in comparison with what appear to be simple guard enemies. Am I wrong?

:^/ Ico was mostly linear in play, but you were free to discover short cuts. Indeed, these helped greatly when trying to complete the game within the two hour limit for one of the trophies. Shadow of the Colossus was much more of an open world to roam around in, but the monsters still had to be taken order. So, it was linear in that respect, even though it could feel much less so. As for The Last Guardian, I suspect it'll adhere to it's predecessors somewhat, giving a mix of free roaming and a mostly linear story, though without seeing any play demonstrations, it's difficult to predict it more closely.

;^) The only thing I do know for certain is that I'll get it, day one. Even pre-order it, when that becomes available to do.
